Priests are one of the fastest levelers. With the wand spec if you upgrade your wand properly, and focus on intel/spirit gear, you'll never stop to drink. Such an underrated leveler even in 2024
I will say that I have never levelled priest, I have played most classes but not everything. It probably would have been more accurate to call it a medium levelling speed maybe?
@dwarflord On a tier list it's definitely A tier, not quite S tier like Mages, Hunters and Warlocks obviously, but it's a solid A tier. For example i even leveled my priest slightly faster than my Druid. It's a little more boring to level, but definitely a fast leveler.
Finally a clear class selection guide ! Compare to all the other guilde from guys who simply just watch video of other "creator" in order to repeat it for super long and useless video. Straight to the point and also THANK YOU for not using that "madseason" slow voice that a lot of classic youtube '"creator" tend to replicate.
dont listen to the nay sayers this was a good guide with actual perspective of the game rather than just empty bs filling time. Cya in fresh taurenlord! and ty for showin my vid!
I'd say Priest is medium to fast levelling speed rather than slow. There is a lot to be said for not having to stop to drink, wands are amazing early and by the time they fall off dungeon levelling will carry.
it is a good farm but after a while u wanna blow ur brains out. i always enjoyed just murdering satyrs for felcloth but you can run into pvp issues there... which is usually fine because you're a lock
siphon life is a dps loss and your raid will probably require you to use a utility curse rather than agony. the only upside to the debuff limit removal is that you are guaranteed able to put corruption up (which is allegedly still a dps loss in the later phases) and if your raid comp isn't tryhard and you have an abundance of lock then you can run agony and parse (assuming it's even a dps gain in later phases. i think it's definitely good early on especially because your tank needs a few globals to secure aggro and just shadowbolting out of the gate is likely to pull threat)
Warrior can farm devilsaur as well. You just need to fear and use bandages. There might be another trick to it as well but I remember farming the leather to pay for my epic mount on my fresh warrior back in 2019.
dual spec won't be out right away. no word on when it comes out or how much gold it will cost to unlock (it cost 1000g in TBC). that being said, you do not need to spec deep holy to heal dungeons
My least played class is warlock, so I may make one. My question is, would I be able to get into a casual guild to raid as a destruction lock? That's the most appealing spec to me, and I will not be a sheep and play a spec just because it's stronger.
I mean mages are the obvious first choice and for good reason. You get to 60 in 3 days played, you can instantly farm 50 raw gold/hour even in a new realm with suboptimal gear and thus bankroll any and all of your future alts. Mages are also making an easy 100g/h just afking in Kargath in P1. Also, even if you just have 1 account, you can still give yourself free portals to make leveling alts significantly faster.
@@user-bs6ln3ns4u It depends on a multitude of factors. Essentially, if you're not going to play this game like your life depends on it, then any other class is fine to start with. Rolling a mage requires you to dedicate yourself to the game to really get ahead of the pack so that you can dominate the open world AOE locations by yourself. If you're playing less than 5 hours a day, then rolling a rogue first is very sensible. They're one of the best gold farming classes early on as well, as they can either just pick pockets and coffers in BRD or farm the 5 chest spawns (and pockets) in SM very efficiently for raw gold. The question "what class to choose first" is ultimately just a subject for min-max theorizing. Sure, you can gain a slight advantage by working out every mathematically perfect solution to the game, but ultimately games are designed for you to have fun. If those min-maxing equations require you to follow a completely rigid and extremely demanding schedule to achieve your desired outcome, then you're really not going to have fun -- no matter what kind of a personality you have. "Getting ahead" is always torture. Just do what you want, man.
@@miskee11 arlaeus had a video back in the day of his level 40 mage soloing the entire ZF graveyard by using the wall jump method. So basically you can just go any spec that helps you quest or spellcleave dungeons up to 40-42ish and then solo ZF all the way to 54 at which point you are either far enough ahead to have plaguelands to yourself or you can spellcleave BRD.
I never got to play vanilla started in tbc and ive been a Prot Warrior main tank since tbc all the way into cata funny how they say its the worst tank in the game but ive Main tanked every single boss on heroic including LK Nef ect but im excited to finally play prot warrior where its actully the best tank (also love feral and since im gunna play pvp server idk what to do) do I just play feral and bear tank or since im GM anyway do I go Warrior an get the 1st thunderfury I just enjoy world pvp so kinda nervous because it cost alot to spec change and prot warrior in pvp isnt exactly a thing
@dwarflord yes yes, the hard mode faction, but the best faction. Well I'll see ya if I see ya. Probably going to be rolling pvrle though, dunno if I can handle the amount of grief that will happen on the pvp server.
why is that? They're probably the most sought-after class outside of warriors, and 90% of raid teams are probably casual enough they'd actually bring more shamans than warriors
I can’t choose between warrior priest and mage man: warrior because I wanna be the main tank anime character, priest because I’ve played it in classic and love it and mage because of how easy the whole game is being a mage. Someone help me choose 😂
This guy is clearly used to sweaty/minmax comps. Unless you are at this high level, them most guilds/PUGs will look for x melee, y ranged, z healers, doesnt matter what class. No normal raid lead is going to wait until 20 warriors PM them
If you're not set on Orc because you love it a lot, I suggest going Troll instead for a vastly superior racial. Maybe the orc one is better for pvp though
you are watching me in clips where I am pushing for the world recond naxx speed run, could we compete for it with any other comp? Number 2 NA number 3 world
@@dwarflord Oh well that makes sense, but I still feel anyone playing rogue/warrior will really have way too much competiton on loot. I was looking at tank but not anymore.
you should level as shadow whit priest that makes levelling much much faster as you can kill higher lvl mobs whit shadow focus talent. As many classes cant even hit them. So its not "slow" imo. Levelling as holy is so freaking stupid
Vanilla andy wow addicts chasing the 2004/2019 launch hype theyll never get again. You people just keep eating the legit same crap blizz feeds you over and over again

Mara is also a viable raw gold farm for locks, although DM has much more potential.

niceeeee hope you get those axes
Why do these videos ALWAYS get us ?? we know damn well in advanced what we are going to play LMAO.
Agreed. Mage is definitely the best

i really want to play hunter but am scared i will be perma benched in later raid tiers :(
starts talking class balance and me seeing the 23 warriors in the raid xD
For pvp warrior which race gnome or dwarf ?
your hardest counter gonna be mage, so gnome is the way.
Really thinking to actually try a class I have never played seriously and go Lock maybe a mage but idk will be pve server but will focus on PvP
both can be fun! I personally am not a fan of pet classes, soul shards etc. but mages can be quite fun. mana management can be tricky

Who wins a duel between s priest and warlock?
Warlock and spriest walk into a room the only one who walks out is Jon Jones the greatest pound for pound fighter in the UFC
I think Snutz has shown that warlock beats everything 1v1 when specced/played properly. Or maybe he's just GOATed
if both same skilled, no rules warlock gonna come out with most wins.
I can’t choose between warrior priest and mage man: warrior because I wanna be the main tank anime character, priest because I’ve played it in classic and love it and mage because of how easy the whole game is being a mage. Someone help me choose 😂
